I'm making a Bonfire cake in a few weeks and would like to know more about the outhouse, specifically, what was written on each side. I've seen pics of the half moon on the front, varsity's horns sawed off and "tu frathouse" on the side. Was it the same every year or did each class do something different?

Austin city limits sign
t.u. frathouse
Fightin' Texas Aggie Bonfire
sawed-off skull

I think that's what was on it this year...


Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

All of that is correct. The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band makes the outhouse. Go under the "Bonfire" icon and click "2010 Bonfire pictures" and go to the last page. Scroll down to about the middle of the page and some pictures of the outhouse from Aggie Bonfire 2010 are displayed.

talked to some bbatt guys when i went back to school and they said arty band builds the outhouse

A few years back, I made a Bonfire outhouse Christmas tree topper. I patterned the topper after these old school images...







Result..

Traditionally, the sophomores in the Band build the outhouse. Thus, the year on it should be the current year plus 3.

I am a Dead Orange Pot (Orange Pots are sophomores from the Aggie Band that build the outhouse) Uli, the Orange Pots come from I band as well. If you need pictures for the cake let me know and I can email you some. I have a collection of pics throughout the last 20 years

I would love to see more pictures! Please send them to me at: Sheila_Kurtin@myfamily.com.
Thank you!

i was A-Co 03 and had one of the orange pots passed down to me thinking bonfire would return to campus our zip year and it never happened.
i talked to some bbatt guys in 06 and they said a-band keeps it going because the i-band guys did not want to be involved with student bonfire.

is everybody involved now? still six people: a and b co, a and b bat, head outhouse and grode?
